KATYN, A film by Andrzej Wajda NR, 121min, In Polish with English subtitles

From Polands greatest living director, Andrzej Wajda, comes the story he has waited a lifetime to tell: Katyn is the name of the forest where the Soviets secretly murdered 15,000 Polish officers, intellectuals and professionals over a 3-day period in 1940 (Wajdas father among them). For decades the truth was obfuscated, with the Nazis often blamed for the atrocity. In this elegant production, Wajda recreates war-torn Poland and the stories of both the perpetrators and their victims. An Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film in 2008.
